Chapter 61 Turning the Ground
Shock, astonishment, and sadness all flashed across Lin Daya's eyes.
Then she shouted at a volume that was almost screaming: "My mother didn't steal anything, she just went to take a look. Don't you dare say that about my mother? You and your mother are both lackeys of the Cui family."
After shouting these words, Lin Daya stepped heavily on the embroidered handkerchief that fell to the ground in front of Li Miao's incredulous eyes.
The embroidered handkerchief was already covered in mud, and now it was directly crushed into the muddy water, making it completely unsightly.
Li Miao stood there until his hands and feet felt cold, then he squatted down and picked up the handkerchief.
Looking at the handkerchief in his hand, which was no longer visible in its original shape, Li Miao thought: "Fortunately, it's just muddy and wet. I can still use it after washing it at home, but I can't give it to my mother."
She originally thought that her mother would be very happy to receive the embroidery she gave her.
But now...
From then on, the two sisters who originally shared the same ideals completely parted ways. This is probably because people with different frequencies will eventually drift apart, sooner or later.
Li Miao went to Cui's house to study as per the procedures, and also made new and better handkerchiefs to give to Sister Li.
Just as she thought, Mrs. Li was very happy after seeing it. She carried the handkerchief with her every day and was reluctant to use it.
Not long after, the Lin family sold the house in Huaihua Lane and the family left quietly.
When they learned that the Lin family had left, most people in the alley shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this was probably a case of one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel.
Although Feng was divorced, the Lin family's reputation was still ruined because of her. Although no one in the alley said anything in front of the Lin family, no one was willing to play with the Lin family's children.
The old lady of the Lin family was quite popular in the alley, but after what happened to Feng, she rarely went out to socialize.
Seeing such a good family become like this, it might be a good thing for them to move to another place.
The Lin family's affairs did not have any impact on Cui Qingyi and Konjac's lives. They still lived their daily lives as usual, and their days were peaceful and comfortable.
Spring comes early in Qinghe County
It's only February and already spring is in the air.
Konjac was giving a lecture to his two young apprentices in the living room, and checking the assigned homework at the same time.
Cui Qingyi changed into spring clothes and took a hoe to dig the ground in the backyard.
The land in their backyard was not used much last year, so this year Cui Qingyi wanted to dig the land early and plant some seasonal vegetables.
Last autumn I planted a crop of green vegetables, but they were frost-ravaged before I could eat them, so I just left them there. This year I just turned them into the soil and used them as fertilizer.
Cui Qingyi had rarely had the opportunity to work in the fields in her past and present lives, so she felt very excited at this moment and was working with a hoe.
After living two lives, she seemed to finally understand what it felt like to truly live and live happily.
She was curious about everything in Dongping County. She even wanted to take a closer look at the insects that emerged from the soil to see if the ones raised in her backyard were rounder than those raised elsewhere.
The big black dog Wangcai also came to help from time to time, digging the soil frantically with his two front paws, and then made things worse.
Konjac took some time to go to the backyard and take a look. The man and the dog were busy as always, but they both made a bit of a mess.
Cui Qingyi was sweating all over, her hair was wet and stuck to her face, her skin was white and rosy, and she looked full of energy.
Konjac originally thought that her daughter had never done such rough work, so she assigned homework to her two apprentices and prepared to come out to help. But now she thought there was nothing wrong with doing rough work, at least the girl was happy doing it.
This was the first time she had seen such a lively girl in more than ten years.
After taking a look, Konjac turned around and brought over the teapot and charcoal stove. Cui Qingyi liked to drink hot tea, so even in spring, the tea stove was always ready at home.
"Girl, come here and drink some water before you work."
"Woof~"
Wangcai responded to Konjac's words before Cui Qingyi. The way he ran over with his tail wagging seemed particularly flattering to Konjac.
Cui Qingyi wiped the sweat off her face, put down the hoe, carefully admired the fruits of her labor, and then walked over with satisfaction.
He took a few sips of the perfectly warm tea, then breathed a sigh of relief. "It's quite comfortable to do some work occasionally. It feels like the muscles and bones that have been curled up all winter have finally stretched out."
Konjac wiped her face with a wet towel and said, "Just stretch your muscles, but don't do it too often."
She came from a poor family and knew that doing physical work for a long time would make the skin rough and the finger joints enlarged.
Gaining weight proves that they have a good life, but if a girl's skin becomes rough and coarse, Konjac definitely doesn't want to see it.
Her girls should always be beautiful.
Cui Qingyi nodded. After all, their family only had this little land, so it wouldn't take more than a whole morning to dig it all up.
Waiting for the first spring rain to fall, Cui Qingyi and Konjac sowed vegetable seeds in the fields, believing that they would be able to harvest soon.
When spring flowers were everywhere, Cui Qingyi finally completed a nearly perfect double-sided embroidery.
The exquisite craftsmanship amazed Konjac.
Cui Qingyi took Konjac and delivered the embroidery, which took her two or three months to create, to Jinxiufang in the city.
Seeing the two people coming, the proprietress of Jinxiufang stopped talking to the guests and greeted them warmly.
"How do you have time to come here today? Since you are here, choose two pieces of new cloth from me to make clothes."
The two of them had long been accustomed to the shopkeeper's attitude. After all, ever since Konjac started sending her embroidery to Jinxiufang, she had brought in many big customers over the past six months. Many of them specifically asked Konjac to customize large embroidery pieces for them.
Either it's a picture of a hundred years of longevity to celebrate a birthday, or a large screen, anyway, Jinxiufang can get a lot of commission from each one.
Konjac: "Shopkeeper, you are so polite. We are here to deliver some embroidery today."
Although it is not the agreed delivery time yet, the shopkeeper will not be unhappy if the goods are delivered early.
"That's great! Mr. Qin sent someone yesterday to ask when the goods could be delivered."
Konjac shook her head and said, "Shopkeeper, you've misunderstood. This isn't the longevity painting that Mr. Qin ordered. It's a new embroidery made by my daughter. I brought it here for your approval."
After Konjac finished speaking, the shopkeeper raised her eyebrows in surprise. After knowing her for such a long time, she still didn't know that Miss Cui could also embroider.
But on second thought, it's not surprising. It's obvious that Miss Cui comes from a good family. Ladies from such wealthy families are usually good at embroidery.
"It's actually Miss Cui's embroidery. I was saying you two are my benefactors from Jinxiufang, and it really is true."
The shopkeeper was very good at talking. Even though he hadn't seen the embroidery's true appearance yet, he was already pouring out a lot of nice words.
Who doesn't like to hear nice words? Cui Qingyi is no exception.
She smiled and said, "Then please take a look at it, boss. What's the value of this embroidery of mine?"
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, feeling a little more expectant.
